Amethyst & Emerald Blog - Friday 12th May 2023

 Happy Friday, everybody! We have been busy this week in Key Stage 1 looking closely at the characters in "The Gruffalo" in English and exploring addition and subtraction strategies in Maths.

Coronation Celebrations

As promised, here is a link to our Special Events page on our website for some photos of Key Stage 1 performing "Sing A Song Of Six Pence" to the rest of the school. We all enjoyed it very much!

Maths Homework

This week, we would like you to look at pages 54 & 55.

For both Year Groups, this is looking at the area of time.

For Year 1's this looks at days of the week and months of the year.. Being able to sequence the days of the week and the months of the year is an important area in time and underpin all the later work that we do going into Year 2. Think about the different things you do on certain days and the key events of the year and in which month they happen.

Months Game 2

For Year 2's this looks at reading the time on analogue clocks. Read carefully through the page which explains this concept and be patient - time can be a very challenging area of the maths curriculum! There are lots of time games on the link below to help practice your clock reading skills:


Don't forget to keep up all your fantastic efforts with your reading at home - it will make a huge impact on your child's reading development. Keep using the range of questions we have discussed previously as well!

If you have any issues or questions, please, please come and see us at the end of the day - we would love to see you!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best wishes

Mr Jude & Mrs Yuille
